A lot of very well-directed standout moments here. The gym scene is a masterclass in suspense. It makes sense this one is remembered as the other (other) good one next to the original (and 3) since there's a lot here that really sticks in your mind. As per usual, the stuff between the setpieces is rather forgettable and makes the experience of watching this slightly less fun than it should be, especially since this one is about a bunch of…

The Final Destination 2009
Never has a Final Destination movie been considered high-minded, but this is by far the stupidest of the bunch.

The movie has its tongue basically poking through its cheeks, but it's still pretty obnoxious, even though in all honesty if you're watching The Final Destination in 2025 you're probably here for this kind of shit.
And despite all that, this movie has George the security guard, perhaps the most developed character in the whole series? It's not saying much, but hey. Also, the water pump death.

It's a fairly straightforward music doc, and unlike the best of its kind it doesn't translate the enthusiasm that the fans (and fellow musicians) have…

Kalashnikov AK-47 2020
By its design, this film is going to irritate a few people. It's an odd choice to portray a weapons manufacturer with the same reverence you'd give to somebody like Stephen Hawking or Freddy Mercury, and don't hold your breath for a Dark Realisation moment à la Nobel or Oppenheimer: Kalashnikov is devoted to the Motherland from the word go and his patriotism doesn't grow any more nuanced throughout the film. Russia's American Sniper.
That's not what annoyed me about…
